Pick my Look

 On the eve of my second infusion, I am nervous. I am hoping it goes well. In fact I am kind of hoping it goes better and I am stronger and ready for it. Last time I was already weakened from the CT scan with oral contrast that played havoc on my system.

This time my oldest son is taking me to Chemo, he’s a character, it should be interesting.

Can I just throw this out there?

I really appreciate you following this blog. I love reading the comments, they are so encouraging.

Yesterday was a strange day. Half my hair fell out before church and I made the conscious decision to remove the rest. I sported, even if it was only for several hours, the look I didn’t want to spot.

That ‘desperate trying to keep my hair as my scalp shows through’

This afternoon my halo wigs came. Fringe wiglets that you wear under hats or scarves.

So tonight, I played around with different looks.

I went to the store tonight with my ball cap wig (The one from earlier) it drove me nuts. It was itchy, heavy and hot. I whipped it off the second I got back in the car.

My oldest grandson said to me, “Nen, you need to just go with it. This is who you are now, just take off the wig and hat and just don’t worry.’

Man, I love that boy.

But I played around tonight. Thought I’d ask your opinion on which look I should rock when.

I have already decided that for work at the church, I’m just gonna rock the bald. I love my church family. No one there is gonna judge or stare.

When I go to doctors or chemo … bald look.

But what about functions?

When I am filming a short?

Lunch with friends.

Rock the bald or something else. Right now I don’t know what works for me. I know I am not fond of looking like the cancer patient with a scarf thing. But I thought I’d get your opinion.

My daughter tells me that whatever I choose I need to feel comfortable with it.

Ok, let’s face it I am not the most feminine person, so I did buy some lipstick.

Here are the looks.

What do you think?

If you were going out to hang out with me, which look would you feel suits me best. I know, I look old in these pics, ignore that. Weight loss is causing loose skin. Here they are.
